There are reports of changes to the Napoli line-up against Besiktas, as Manolo Gabbiadini and Lorenzo Insigne could both be benched.
The Champions League tie kicks off at the Stadio San Paolo at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).
Raul Albiol and Arkadiusz Milik are unavailable, but two consecutive Serie A defeats seem to be mining Maurizio Sarri’s confidence.
Gabbiadini has struggled to adapt as a centre-forward and could be dropped in favour of Insigne – or even Dries Mertens – as a False 9.
The latest rumours from the Napoli camp have Mertens sure to start with Jose Callejon and one from Insigne or Gabbiadini.
Mediaset Premium even suggest a possibility with Emanuele Giaccherini on the left side of the trident, Mertens as False 9 and Callejon on the right.
As for the defence, Nikola Maksimovic was the favourite to stand in for Albiol, but instead Vlad Chiriches could get the nod alongside Kalidou Koulibaly.
Allan may well be rested in midfield, allowing Piotr Zielinski to start with Jorginho and Marek Hamsik.
Napoli (probable): Reina; Hysaj, Chiriches, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Zielinski, Jorginho, Hamsik; Mertens, Gabbiadini (Insigne/Giaccherini), Callejon
